It's actually hard to tell them apart. Even the FOV is rather close but not close enough that one couldn't tell them apart. Still.... colour saturation, contrast and sharpness are reasonably close.

here's how the pancake looks like on a gripped 5d3
Cute but strange. No wonder it attracts gawkers. To me it looks like a camera with its nose punched in. I like it! :thumbsup:

Chad Soriano PhotoBlog: Canon Rebel T4i and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Hybrid AF Video Test
According to the reviewer continuous AF in video mode on the 650D/T4i is silent. Hence the hybrid CMOS sensor plays a part in having the STM lens being silent in achieving focus and it is really tailored for the next generation of Canon DSLRs.

if you have extra money to get it, then just buy it. think a reason to cover it later after u buy and use it

Yes, unless you pixel peep, they are incredibly close…It wasn't down to which was sharper but rather which focal range suited better for what you want it for. Hence i said the 50 is still better for portraits and the 40 better for general shooting.
However, having said that, the 40 is half the price and half the size at half the weight
Canon REALLY needs to update their 50 and 85 lenses…if they can make a pancake equal to them in IQ, i'm sure they can improve the 50 and 85 to make it better..

Somewhere at Marina Bay, a lovely thirty something South American lady wearing sheer black nylons initiates a short conversation between herself and a camera owner...
Beautiful Lady: WTF?
Camera Owner: What do you mean?
Beautiful Lady: What's That Food on your camera?
Camera Owner: Oh you mean this (pointing to his smallish 40mm lens).
Beautiful Lady: Yeah WTF (what's that food)?
Camera Owner: It's my small pancake lens!
Beautiful Lady: Do you have to feed it maple sirup to make it work?
Camera Owner: Not at all. It works just fine with a little TLC (tender lovin care)!
With this post, I think this thread has reached a low point!

Photozone has just given the 40mm Pancake lens its highly coveted "Highly Recommended" designation.

Guess if you need:
1) faster AF
2) better bokeh
bare in mind, slower lens but more useful focal length in my opinion.
just to add... i am one of those clowns who has the 50mm/f1.8 and decided to go and get the 40mm/f2.8. did some side-by-side bokeh test of the 2 lens. i know the FOV is different, but that is not the point of this.

shooting some muffins with a 350D
shot on my 1DsMK2. not a bad lens actually. pretty sharp. but i guess i am still keeping my 50mm for the low light.

Here's a few images from my pancake

Not going into very technical review. When i compare side by side with my 50mm "L", I would say it's a why not!
& this might be your most expensive camera body cap, leave it on.
